ATI11 and XP EFS files

Good morning,
I'm using trial ATI11 home. My problem is that I've lost (by pc crack) the encryption key so I've an Hdisk full of "green" ultra-locked files/folder...
I hope that True Image is able to recover my very important files... so first I encrypted a new file then I created a ATI file/backup of only this file.
When I restored it in an other folder the file was yes decripted but of zero lenght..
Can you help me please?

Hello Micheal,
thank you for your reply.
No, I did not created the hd image......
I'm serching for a method to recover my very important crypted efs files.
I hope Acronis is able to do this..
Can you help me please?

Hi,
really I didn't encrypted any file....I found all my data disk encrypted (all file/folders are green: they are true windows efs file).
So I've not entry any password: in my opinion my xp became insane.
May be I'd need a decrypting progam.
